Our 50 Tonne + Ground protection mats are designed for the movement of vehicles, heavy plant and pedestrians over soft ground, or ground that needs protecting from these. All of our mats are 2.4m long & 1.2m wide, these can then be connected to one another to allow for you to build temporary access road ways and pads as your need require.
These mats can carry an incredible 50+ tonnes of weight and are commonly used for aiding in the movement of heavy machinery and vehicles. Our ground protection mats have two unique surfaces, one which is a non-slip surface, allowing for pedestrians to maximise their grip. The other surface is has a deeper traction system, which is ideal for the movement of vehicles and machinery over the ground mats.
There are several ways to connect these mats together. They come fit with handle holes on each side of the mat. These make them easy for carrying and putting in place. You can then use our connectors with steel plates to connect the mats together by coming up through each of these handle holes on the mats as they lay next to each other. The steel cap on these connectors is then simply screwed down to hold the mats in place. These connectors hold the mats firmly in place, however people do also often use heavy duty cable ties to hold the mats together. These are less rigid than the connectors and allow more movement in the mats, however these offer a great cost effective solution if the mats are being installed and then uninstalled over a short period of time.
